Sermons on Under His Feet:

Is Your God Too Small?

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Feb 20, 2004

Is our God too small? Do we labor under misconceptions about what he is really like? Isn’t it time that we seek to be more like God and give up trying to make him more like us?

First Presbyterian Church Wichita Falls, Texas March 25, 2001 IS YOUR GOD TOO SMALL? Isaac Butterworth Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 (NRSV) 1/ Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him. 2/ And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, “This ...read more

A Prayer To See Clearly Series

Contributed by Thomas H on Oct 4, 2010

Why do we find it so hard to focus on our spiritual blessings in Christ? Why do the things of this world seem so much more attractive than the things of the next? It is because we can see the things of this world. That's why Paul prays for us to have a

Ephesians 1:15-23 When I was a young adult, about 20 years, I was part of a youth/young adults group at the church I was going to. One day one of our youth leaders had a bright idea.

The Last Enemy

Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Mar 31, 2010

The real public enemy #1 is not the abysmal state of the economy or AIDS...it is DEATH

If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died. For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being; for as ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 21 – What The Lord Hates And God’s Sovereignty In Declaring Good Or Evil - Chapter 3:33-38 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 6, 2025

We look at what worthless persons do; what the Lord hates, and the system in the world including injustice. False prophets are considered – they are always around. The sovereign God dispenses good and ill, that is, eternal life and eternal death. Good and ill proceed from God in heaven.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 21 – WHAT THE LORD HATES AND GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY IN DECLARING GOOD OR EVIL - CHAPTER 3:33-38 INTRODUCTION FROM LAST TIME Last time we looked at the LORD causing grief but then applying compassion.

A Witness To The Faith

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 11, 2017

Although under house arrest, Paul continued to proclaim the Gospel. He refused to remain silent about the grace he had received. We need to share the desire and commitment of Paul to proclaim the Gospel.

"Mr. Worng Meets Mr. Right"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Sep 22, 2003

Before a person comes to Christ, we are under the dictates of the Old Testament Law. When we came to Christ, we became "married to another." Abigail pictures this same truth in 1 Samuel 25.

Text: Read 1 Samuel 25. (I will submit this text for you at the end of this outline.) In Brief, Nabal refuses to give a "love offering" to David and his men who have been protecting his shepherds from being harmed by the enemy. Nabal is a fool.

Simon The Zealot Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Under different circumstances Simon would run a blade through Matthew, and Matthew would live in fear of Simon, but Jesus makes them partners in the Gospel. A left-winger and a right-winger united in Christ.

We want to look at an Apostle of whom we would know nothing if the New Testament did not tell us of his political affiliation before he became a believer. If a man was called Simon the Democrat or Simon the Republican, you would not be able to draw many conclusions about him because these terms ...read more

Who Killed Jesus?

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 25, 2025

Who killed Jesus? Was it Judas, Caiaphas, or the Jews in general? The Apostles Creed says “He was crucified under Pontius Pilate,” no one else. If we’re looking for someone to blame, the buck stops at Rome.

One cold December morning in Sunday School, a child was busy drawing a picture of the Nativity. He drew 4 people next to a truck getting ready to board an airplane.
